Designed by the celebrated French naval architect Philippe Briand, with interior styling by Patrick Roseo, the Grand Soleil 56 represents a milestone for the Italian shipyard Cantiere del Pardo. Launched in 2001, this yacht was conceived as the yard’s flagship, carrying the nickname of the "Swan of the Adriatic". The model represents a elegant fusion of a performanceoriented hull with the luxurious, bluewater cruising capabilities demanded by discerning yachtsmen. Built to compete directly with highend European builders such as Nautor Swan, Baltic Yachts, and XYachts, the Grand Soleil 56 succeeded by offering semicustom builder quality combined with a level of performance that could hold its own on both the regatta circuit and longdistance passages.
